Truth Watch Radio

Actor C. Thomas Howell in the 1986 comedy movie Soul Man uses blackface to win a scholarship to pay for his entrance into Harvard Law School. It was a semi-funny portrayal on effects of equal opportunity and identity politics. We have a real-life case of a blackfaced white person masquerading as an African-American who made her way to an adjunct professorship in Africana studies at Eastern Washington University and the local NAACP chapter president in Spokane. We peel back the onion on the dangers of identity politics in this episode of Truth Watch Radio.
